Actually, the feature works. Problem is when you hit "update feeds". Each feed's update is immediately started in its own thread and all feeds download their new message simultaneously/in parallel. This action cannot be interrupted. When some feed finishes downloading of messages, then those messages are saved into DB, saving is NOT parallelized and is done synchronously in main thread. This action can be interrupted.

So the phase where feeds are all started and downloading cannot be interrupted. I will make some enhancements to make "stopping" faster IF POSSIBLE. But in general, stopping of feeds update will not work fast. This is by design and is caused by recent new feature - feed parallel updates.
